Well, it seems the genial plan the makers of this blog had is working: I created my blog just so I could post a comment on someone else's blog, and now 2 friends of mine have done the same just so they could post comments on mine...
Question is, why? As far as I know it's made by google, who already provide their cool email service. But at least there they seem to have some sort of advertising going on - albeit discrete - whereas I've seen very little external advertising on this blog service. Granted, I haven't spent my days looking for ads, but still. What they have going on is the possibility to add AdSense to your blog, which lets them put some ads on your page. However they pay you for all clicks and referals, so their own margin must be minimal.
So now I am left wondering, what do they gain from this? Reputation? Webmaster experience to put on their CVs? Good Karma? This is intriguing to me, especially in the evening as I'm getting tired...

I think only allowing other blogger to comment is one of the options. But hey I need to vent. I like it because it prevents snooping ladies to see what I'm saying.
Yo how did you get your pictures up there?
To answer your photon in a black box question. The only way you can freeze it is by applying a strong enough gravitational field. So it would look like close to the center of a black hole where time would nearly equal zero. This would in turn force space to compensate by warping into an infinitely thin and long "string-like" shape.
happy thoughts :D
Ok, wow! So I wouldn't have a clue of what it actually looks like... Hmmm... How about, I can make myself small enough to be roughly the size of a photon, and I can move as fast as it does. What does it look like to me? A glowing ball of something or a 'wave'-like thing?
As for the pictures, you need to have them on the net before you can post them here - kinda gay I know. So I suscribed to a free picturepost as well: http://photobucket.com. then you can link your photos...
Unfortunately my understanding is that we do not have the dimensions of a photon. It has no mass and is generally thought of as and electromagnetic bundle. In any case it will not look like a glowing ball I don't think.
I will ask around.
